Do more to achieve oil dream

In recent months, Tullow Oil has been making news that Kenyans will be cursing. Developments at the firm steering Kenya’s dream of becoming an oil producer, thanks to the resources buried deep in the bowels of Turkana County, are depressing. Among the issues the firm has had to grapple with are crises within its management and the move to sell its stake in the three oil blocks expected to produce commercial oil by 2023.

While such sales are expected and common place among firms developing oil fields across the world, it is coming at a time the ordinary Kenyan is on edge economically. Even worse, the people of Turkana have so far endured inconveniences as the company prepares the fields.
